Movie Reviews of Pyaasa
Movie Review: Guru Dutt's work of art
Summary: 5 Stars
Spoiler Alert;
I had known about this movie for a while as it was on Time magazine's "100 greatest movies" list, now I know why. Yes, as one reviewer mentioned the subtitles could have been much better, but this is not the fault of the people who made the movie. There is a translation for the song "Jaane kya tune" on You tube if your interested [I am going to get an Indian friend to translate all the other lyrics].
This movie is one of the most powerful movies ever made. Guru Dutt and all the other actors are so natural in their roles, there is no overacting like you see from alot of the present day Bollywood "actors" [Aamir Khan you are excluded]. What can I say about the beautiful, haunting music by S D Burman and the deep, moving lyrics of Sahir Ludhianvi brought to life by M. Rafi and Geeta Dutt?
"Yeh Duniya Agar Mil Bhi Jaaye, To Kya Hai?" This means loosely "so what if I gain this world?" the poet goes on to mention all the evil and falsehood in this world and asks "why would I want the glory of this material world?"
What decent person in today's world has not asked this question at some point? I was so moved by Dutt's performance in the scene where he walks in on his "memorial service". The reaction on the faces of the different people in his life was so priceless e.g Waheeda Rehman's character who having thought till that moment that she had lost the one man she ever loved becomes radiant with joy.
The movie captures the struggles of the pure and good hearted in an often heartless world. In the end though as the movie shows, the struggle is worth it, no earthly riches can buy you peace of mind and unconditional love.
